Thwaites 'Doomsday' Glacier Melting Faster Than Feared
Original: thwaites glacier
New reporting on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier says the ice sheet is melting faster than scientists previously estimated, and that its decline would continue even if ocean temperatures stopped rising. Roughly the size of Senegal, the glacier is often called the 'doomsday' glacier because its collapse could significantly raise global sea levels, threatening coastal communities worldwide.
Why now: Fresh studies warn the glacier's melt is accelerating and may be irreversible, raising alarm over global sea-level rise.
